It shouldn't matter if it starts with just one item, it has to start somewhere (if you look at the history of 1.1_API_Changes, you'll notice that it started small as well). Other things I can think of putting on such a page is the that the 1.1.0 'openssl' app takes all options before all non-option arguments, there's no mixing them like there was in versions before 1.1.0. I.e., this doesn't work any more: openssl ciphers AES -V while this does: openssl ciphers -V AES Cheers, Richard -- Richard Levitte levi...@openssl.org OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org/~levitte/ -- openssl-dev mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-dev
